Newly-capped Correia signs new Sevilla deal

MADRID, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Sevilla's versatile midfielder Adriano Correia was able to celebrate a call-up to Dunga's Brazil squad with a new contract which keeps him at the Primera Liga club until 2012.

'I am delighted. On a personal level I am enjoying the best
moments of my career and I would like to thank the club
president and sports director who have stood by me,' Correia
told the Sevilla Web site.

The 21-year-old, who can play either left back or left
midfield, joined Sevilla from Coritiba in January 2005.

He was a key member of the Sevilla side who finished fifth
in the Primera Liga and won the UEFA Cup last season.

Brazil coach Dunga named him in his squad on Thursday for
the international friendlies against Ecuador and Kuwait next
month.

Correia helped Brazil win the World Youth Championship in
2003 and was a member of the squad that won the Copa America in
2004.
